Bayao Ridge Market.
A puppet-like Dao figure sat in the corner of the main hall on the first floor of the busiest tavern in the marketplace, ordering a few signature spirit plant dishes. While sipping a small glass of wine and indulging in the delicacies, he listened to the casual conversation of the surrounding cultivators.
Being a puppet, he naturally didn't have any cravings. He was here mainly to collect news from the outside world.
"News from the Taixu Immortal Alliance came out a while ago, saying that they wanted to rally their cultivators and wage war against our Great Moon Mansion. Scared, I hurriedly bought a few first-order high-quality amulets. But now, the news is that a demon called 'Taoist Xuanming' ran from the Nine Souls Demon Ridge to the Purple Light Mansion of the Taixu Immortal Alliance and bloodily sacrificed an entire fairy city."
